🇮🇳From India to a U.S. business life
Your route from India: Amex Global Transfer shortcut. Realistic timelines, banking that actually opens, and the package we'd start with — every price public.
India is the single largest source of new U.S. LLC formations by non-residents — and Amex Global Transfer from India is a confirmed, well-worn corridor.
Your path from India
Amex Global Transfer shortcut
Credit route
American Express participates in Global Transfer from your country. If you hold a personal Amex card there in good standing (typically 12+ months), you can apply for a U.S. Amex using your home-country relationship — usually the single fastest legitimate route to a U.S. personal credit file. Approval remains Amex's decision, not ours or yours.
Realistic timeline
3–6 months to a working U.S. personal credit file; 6–12 months to a strong business credit profile.
Banking from India
Fintech business banking (Mercury, Relay) opens remotely with your LLC, EIN, and passport — typically 1–2 weeks. Traditional banks (Chase, BoA) generally require a U.S. visit. Note RBI's LRS limits (currently $250K/year per person) when funding U.S. accounts.
Where we'd start
Business Credit Accelerator — $4,000 — Your Amex shortcut means the personal file comes fast; the value is in building the business credit stack in the right order alongside it.
The premium shortcut
Want to skip the build entirely? Our premium roster of operating U.S. businesses ($25,000–$500,000, fewer than five at a time) transfers established history — including the business credit file — through a genuine acquisition.

How you pay from India — legally
India gives every resident US$250,000 per financial year under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme — usable for legal foreign payments, including our services and your U.S. investments. Everything in our Foundation and credit tiers fits comfortably inside it. For bigger moves — an acquisition, a larger investment — the RBI approval route above the LRS ceiling applies, and we're straight with you about its lead time and plan it into your deal from day one. Every transfer goes through your own bank, documented, in your name — the way the rules were written.
Here's the shortcut most people don't know: American Express operates in India, which means your existing Amex history can open a U.S. Amex through Global Transfer — a U.S. card in weeks instead of the year it takes to build a file from zero. It's the single biggest accelerator in the whole build, and we structure your credit plan around it.
Our compliance line — every country, no exceptions
We only work inside your country's rules. Every payment route we accept is a legal one — through your bank, documented, in your own name. If the only way to do something is to go around your central bank, we don't do it, and we'll tell you so in the first conversation. That's not a limitation. It's why what we build for you survives.
What we'll never help you doAll payments in U.S. dollars
Paying from India — common questions
Every Keystone Bridge price is in USD, and every payment settles in USD — the only question is how your dollars legally get there. Here's the honest answer for India.
